Matwork Pilates
Clinical Pilates for Core Rehabilitation
Matwork Pilates is frequently used in clinical settings, especially for:
Chronic low back pain
Post-surgical rehab (e.g., post-cancer recovery, abdominal surgeries)
Pelvic floor dysfunction
Pilates focuses on controlled movements, deep core activation, and breathing to restore inner abdominal strength and lumbopelvic stability, improving flexibility and alignment. These elements can help aid recovery and assist with returning to pre-surgical condition.
Benefits of Clinical Pilates for Core Rehabilitation
1-on-1 Clinical Pilates Rehabilitation
For one on one and semi-private rehabilitation, an individual initial assessment is essential to tailor an exercise program specific to your needs. You will have the opportunity to perform your individualised program under the guidance and supervision of an accredited exercise physiologist.
